Chapter 1938 Heading to White Sand Island

"Absolutely not!" Liu Qinghuan stopped him. "It's best to tell Tian Nu not to go near that sea area for the time being. We've offended Xing Nie this time, and there's no guarantee he won't go there to lie in wait!"

Seeing that the other two were puzzled, Liu Qinghuan continued, "Although Xing Nie is unaware that White Sand Island has been exposed, he has set up an array around the island. If it is triggered, he may discover it."

“Okay, I’ll explain things to Tiannu. Don’t go to the island for now,” Li Shan said.

Songfeng asked nervously, "What if he comes after us?"

Li Shan didn't care: "So what if he chases after us? Even if he has the cultivation of a Loose Immortal, can't he just escape if he can't beat us?"

Song Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "I can't communicate with you two geniuses who can fight against loose immortals with Mahayana cultivation!"

Li Shan laughed heartily: "Brother Liu, that's absolutely right! Even with my ninth-level cultivation, I might not have been able to withstand that old clam demon's attack, but Brother Liu was able to easily neutralize it. I'm truly impressed!"

Liu Qinghuan smirked: "Where did you see me looking relaxed? Don't be modest, I can't beat you!"

He added, "That Star Nirvana Ancestor's true form is actually a ten-thousand-year-old clam spirit, who has been dwelling in the Mountain and Sea Ruins for many years. He only broke through to the ninth level and reached the Loose Immortal realm more than two thousand years ago."

Most of the immortals who remain in the mortal realm have compelling reasons. They not only have to endure increasingly severe heavenly tribulations, but their own strength is also severely suppressed.

Because of the short time, Liu Qinghuan didn't have time to look closely, but the reason why Xing Nie stayed in the mortal realm was most likely related to the Five-Colored Stone Mountain.

Li Shan said, "I see. Tell us more about what you saw with the observation technique on the way."

As he spoke, he took out a small cloud boat and beckoned the other two people to get on.

"The old clam spirit is still very strong. We should run away as soon as possible!"

"Wait!" Liu Qinghuan took out a wooden box, opened it, and inside was an exquisitely crafted jade doll, only the size of a palm.

He traded this for a pill from Xue Yi. Such a small jade puppet actually cost him a whole Earth-grade spirit pill!
A wisp of divine consciousness was separated, and the jade puppet opened its eyes, its expression instantly becoming vivid.

"Go, but don't expose yourself!" Liu Qinghuan said.

The jade puppet nodded slightly, and in a flash, it disappeared before the group.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Shan asked.

"I sent it to guard outside Lingbao. If Xingnie makes any move, we'll know immediately."

The three boarded the cloud boat, and with a soft sound, the cloud boat flew into the clouds and sped southward.

"...The old clam spirit actually called the Five-Colored Stone Mountain a sacred mountain?"

After listening to Liu Qinghuan's detailed account of the scene he witnessed upon returning to heaven, Li Shan asked in confusion, "Could that mountain have some other origin?"

"Then I don't know," Liu Qinghuan said. "It's normal for it to have some background. Don't forget that Shan Hai Xu is the Penglai Immortal Island sea area of ​​the original continent."

Li Shan rubbed his hands together, a look of anticipation on his face.

"Legend has it that Penglai Immortal Island is extremely large, with four main islands, thirty-six inner islands, seventy-two outer islands, and one hundred and eight inner and outer ring islands."

Could that five-colored stone mountain be one of the islands that was lost along the way?

"Perhaps," Liu Qinghuan said. "Due to time constraints, I only briefly looked at the memories of Ancestor Xing Nie. After entering the Black Mist Tide, he had an extra token in his hand."

"A token?" "There seems to be a restriction or barrier protecting the Five-Colored Stone Mountain. That token can guide the way in the black mist tide and is also the key to enter that mountain."

"What do we do then?" Li Shan said in distress. "How about we go back now and rob that old clam demon again?"

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy!" Liu Qinghuan sighed. "We only caught him off guard before, but now that he's on guard, he definitely won't hand over the token."

The three people on the cloud boat began to ponder how to obtain the token.

After thinking for a long time, Li Shan said, "It seems that we only have two paths to take: either we try to force our way through the black mist tide without the token, which is extremely dangerous."
We could either face Ancestor Xing Nie again, who is a Loose Immortal. We might be able to hold out for a few rounds against him, but defeating him and seizing the token? That would be even more difficult than forcing our way through the Black Mist Tide!

Li Shan looked at his two companions opposite him, and Song Feng said with a wry smile, "Don't look at me. I am the weakest of the three of us. Let alone a few rounds, the opponent can finish me off with one palm."

He thought for a moment and then said, "If it were Fellow Daoist Tiannu, perhaps we would have a better chance of winning."

Finally, Liu Qinghuan said, "Let's play it by ear. If all else fails, we'll have no choice but to force our way through the black fog tide!"

Speechless all the way.

The cloud boat glides nimbly through the clouds, making almost no sound, blending seamlessly with the blue sky and white clouds.

Baisha Island is quite far from Lingbao Island; it takes more than half a month to get there.

Since they had entered the extremely deep waters of the Mountain and Sea Ruins, there were fewer ordinary sea beasts, so the journey was relatively smooth.

"We'll arrive in another day." Liu Qinghuan glanced out the window, slowly placed a piece on the chessboard, and said:
"Brother Li, perhaps you should consider being in charge of guiding people outside the Black Mist Tide?"

"What do you mean?" Li Shan, sitting opposite him, paused in his chess game. "You want to go into the Black Mist Tide alone?"

"I'm just making a suggestion," Liu Qinghuan said. "What we can confirm at the moment is that the black mist tide not only causes people to lose their magic power, but also causes abnormal spatial distortion."

Unlike me and Fellow Daoist Songfeng, you haven't cultivated the Dao of Space, so you might get lost in it. Without the guidance of a token, you and Fellow Daoist Tiannu had better think this through.

Hearing his words, the Taoist Songfeng, who was sitting on the other side drinking tea, also spoke up: "Yes, after all, it concerns life and death, so it's better to be cautious..."

Li Shan raised his hand to interrupt, saying, "Don't try to persuade me, I'm definitely going! It's just spatial distortion, it's not like I haven't seen it before, it's not a problem."

As for Tiannu, he has already arrived near White Sand Island; we'll see what he chooses then.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Liu Qinghuan stopped trying to persuade him.

I know I can't really persuade them, but I'm just being a friend and reminding them.

At this moment, Songfeng asked, "Fellow Daoist Taiwei, what about Lingbao Island?"

Liu Qinghuan shook her head: "There's no movement."

He was somewhat puzzled, thinking that the other person would immediately come after him, but after so many days, the other person had not left Lingbao Island at all, as if he did not care about being teased.

Regardless of Xing Nie's intentions, they arrived at the sea area where White Sand Island was located a day later.

The vast sea was calm and still, with seabirds flying leisurely across the sky, but not a single island could be seen.

The cloud boat was de-concealed and hovered on the sea. Soon after, a figure approached from afar and landed outside the cabin.

"You've finally arrived!" Tiannu complained. "I've been waiting for days. I've already scouted out the approximate location of Sand Island. Can't we make our move now?"
